Late Shift Health

So glad I recognized that the overnight shift was affecting my health (although, I loved working it). Now that I work days, my health is better but I hate the shift. Can't win.

Do I feel you there!! I've been a night person since ... at least junior high. I wish I wasn't so I could be more 'normal' or whatever, but heck, I'll just work it to my advantage and get the shift diff!
